TIS-100 PC

TIS-100 is an unusual puzzle game developed for PC, in which the player takes on the role of a programmer, trying to repair the code of a computer system known as TIS-100 - a powerful architecture used, among others, to analyze financial exchanges and the behavior of citizens. Our goal is to discover the secrets hidden by the system. The game was developed by the independent studio Zachtronics.

Mechanics

TIS-100 contains dozens of different logic puzzles. They require us to analyze what we see on the screen and enter the appropriate commands in the right fields or select the right fields to click on. A comprehensive manual that describes the TIS-100 system and how to program its functions helps us to play the game. The devs even encourage us to print the delivered pages and have them in front of your eyes during the game.

Game modes

TIS-100 features single-player mode only, but enables us to compete indirectly with other players by comparing results.

Technical aspects

TIS-100 offers simple two-dimensional visuals, consisting mainly of text charts. Some of them are stylized as documents, while others resemble a screen connected to a computer system.
